Picking Up and Relocating Adult Piglins

Capturing an Adult Piglin

Instead of managing minecarts or leads across the Nether, you can pick up adult piglins directly into your inventory as portable items.

1. Locate an adult piglin.

2. Ensure the mob is calm and not busy with combat or other distractions.

3. Clear your main hand completely so that you are holding no items.

4. Sneak (crouch) and right-click the adult piglin with your bare hands.

The piglin will immediately transform into a piglin item and enter your inventory. You can now store it in chests, move it through inventory slots, or carry it across dimensions without hassle.

Placing the Piglin on the Ground

When you are ready to deploy your captured piglin back into the world:

1. Move the piglin item to your active hotbar slot.

2. Aim at the ground or floor where you want the mob to stand.

3. Right-click the surface.

The item will immediately vanish from your hand and place the adult piglin back onto the ground as a living mob.
